Ednews informs that Heidi Kuhn, Founder and CEO of Roots of Peace NGO, launching the organization in 1997 with a vision of turning Mines to Vines gave the message that "MINES TO VINES" would be in Ukraine.
Heidi Kuhn shared a post on her Facebook page regarding her meeting with Dmytro Kushneruk, Consul General of Ukraine at his offices in San Francisco:
"Honored to meet with His Excellency Dmytro Kushneruk, Consul General of Ukraine at his offices in San Francisco"
"Together, we discussed the importance of turning MINES TO VINES in his beloved homeland of Ukraine, where 30% of the land is now contaminated by landmines and unexploded ordnance. It was heartbreaking to sit by the ‘Museum of Munitions’ and listen to the explanation of how these deadly seeds of terror are holding the fertile lands of Ukraine ‘hostage’ from producing grain and fruits of the earth", she noted.
In the end, H.T Kuhn called to people all over the world:
"As humanity, may we join hands and turn MINES TO VINES and plant the Roots of Peace on Earth…"
